Don't make a fuss...
Oh youthful cuckoo...
The wedding and celebrations are all done!
Don't make a fuss...
Oh youthful cuckoo...
Don't make a fuss...
Oh youthful cuckoo...
The wedding and celebrations are all done!
Hey, the wedding and celebrations are all done!
Don't make a fuss...
Oh youthful cuckoo...
The wedding and celebrations are all done!
The wedding and celebrations are all done!
The knot of the thali (sacred wedding thread) is our protective fence,
That is right, that is right, so yield to me and get along!
Don't make a fuss...
Oh youthful cuckoo...
The wedding and celebrations are all done!
Hey, the wedding and celebrations are all done!
For the groom who won your hand,
shouldn't you put a dot to ward off the evil eye?
For a brave and manly husband like me,
shouldn't you serve a feast of love?
Like a fresh yellow flower,
in this cool, breezy garden, haha,
you should not show any heated anger,
it will never do at an hour like this, hey!
If you live as a devoted woman,
it brings honor to our bond!
If you blossom like a flower,
it brings glory to our wedding night!
If you pull away, I will only come closer,
and on our bed, I will pay you back with interest upon interest!
Don't make a fuss...
Oh youthful cuckoo...
The wedding and celebrations are all done!
The wedding and celebrations are all done!
Don't make a fuss...
Oh youthful cuckoo...
The wedding and celebrations are all done!
Hey, the wedding and celebrations are all done!
This bright moonlit night,
we shouldn't let it go to waste!
On these pleasing sights of love,
angry glances must never fall!
Lord Shiva is one half of the divine form,
and Goddess Parvati is the other half!
When the two of us have united as one,
what does winning or losing matter anymore?
Oh goddess who has placed
the wish of a child like Lord Murugan in my hands,
I asked you for a blessing,
now tell me the sweet news!
If you pull away, I will only come closer,
and on our bed, I will pay you back with interest upon interest!
Don't make a fuss...
Oh youthful cuckoo...
The wedding and celebrations are all done!
Don't make a fuss...
Oh youthful cuckoo...
The wedding and celebrations are all done!
The knot of the thali (sacred wedding thread) is our protective fence,
That is right, that is right, so yield to me and get along, haha!
Don't make a fuss...
Oh youthful cuckoo...
The wedding and celebrations are all done!
